ASEF is the official science fair for the State of Alabama. At this event, the winners of Alabama’s four Regional Fairs will compete in either the Senior Division (grades 9-12) or Junior Division (grades 6-8). The competition will occur on April 13, 2024.
New for 2023-2024: STEM Wizard will replace Scienteer for Project Registration for Students and Teachers. Cost for ASEF will be $35 per participant.
Only students selected as winners from one of the four approved regional science fairs listed below are eligible to compete in the in-person competition and will be required to fill out additional ASEF-specific forms in STEM Wizard.
Regional Fairs:
March 6, 2024 at UAH in Huntsville

All Regional Fairs are required to advance their winners to ASEF using the STEM Wizard System immediately after their fair. Project paperwork will be reviewed and approved by the SRC Team and Assistant ASEF Director, Dr. Jess Gilpin, jag0038@auburn.edu. Projects that do not receive approval prior to ASEF may not be eligible to compete or receive category and/or special awards.
